Snr ASIC Design Engineer
Qblox · Delft
What you will do
Deconstruct Requirements & Design: Evaluate system requirements to
architect and implement robust, high-performance digital logic and IP
blocks.
Front-End Flow Ownership: Drive designs through the front-end ASIC
flow, including RTL coding, linting, clock domain crossing (CDC)
analysis, and initial synthesis.
Verification Collaboration: Write block-level self-checking testbenches
and collaborate with the verification team to expand top-level UVM
environments.
Architectural Influence: Propose innovative changes to chip
architecture, power-saving strategies, and team methodologies.
Cross-Functional Sparring: Act as a core technical sparring partner to a
diverse engineering team, continuously pushing for better ways of doing
things.
What they look for
To thrive in this role, you should bring:
Experience: 8+ years as a digital design engineer within an R&D or fabless ASIC environment, with a proven track record of successful silicon tape-outs/deliveries.
RTL & Architecture: Deep fundamental knowledge of digital design, IP development, and RTL coding using VHDL and/or Verilog.
EDA Tools & Flow: Strong experience with standard ASIC front-end EDA tools, processor/bus-system architectures (e.g., AMBA AXI/AHB protocols), and synthesis.
Timing & Constraints: Solid understanding of static timing analysis (STA) constraints and timing closure methodologies.
Mixed-Signal Familiarity: Understanding of analog/mixed-signal chips or IP (e.g., ADC/DAC interfaces, PLLs).
Automation & Tools: Proficiency in scripting to automate design workflows (Python, Tcl, Shell) and version control (Git).
Communication: Strong communication and collaboration skills.
